I got this to try. Lets just say it quickly went into the garbage bin. The size you see on photo was NOTHING like what I got. Nothing.

Hit and miss sometimes. But because of this I got a local guy made me one 3D printed for pretty much the same price.

I was looking at these but for a frame bag, thats too small. And for the top tube bag, you should skip the zippers and go magnetic.

Ordered. If you need more frame storage that's fine but this isn't what this is for. It's for max 300km races not bikepacking


I will agree that the top tube closure with a zip is not as good. I have the profile version which is aero but closing it and opening it in a proper race is a bloody nause.

Yep i think it's more for some minor aero gains, on the apidura website it's tested as 5w gains at 40kmh. I think i will go with the combo for my road bike https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005012485497441.html, just keep the top tube bag and sell the frame bag

How do you know? Just by eyeballing. I know nothing about fitting a frame bag to a specifik frame size.

It‘s supposed to fit perfectly at the steere tube or else it will look dumb and dont have any aero gains. The version sold by Rockbros only fits for short steerer tubes :/ on my frame there would be a gap towards the down tube

Yes I agree, it seems that apidura even has two bag sizes

most non chiner brands offer multiple sizes but i guess that drives up production cost + 99% of asian market easily covered by only offering small sizes. Don‘t forget that most of these brands still sell most stuff in chiner

I'm looking for a bicycle bell/horn that isn't too large but it's loud and have few signals to chose.
